  Speaker 1: Now, this is The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. Well,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: it's almost Friday. It's Thursday, and we got a lot
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: to get to today. Hey, it's five days until fall.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Five days until fall. Autumn just about here. Lots to
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: get to. AI, we'll get to the Fed. We'll get
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to Iran. We'll get to Crazy Mom Donnie. We'll get
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: to Ed Sheeran and Nutty McLemore, Crazy Kathy Hochul, and
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: a whole lot more coming up. If you're a Democrat, wait,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: hang on. If you're a Democrat, cover your ears for
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a minute. You're not going to like this. Stock futures
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: way up, showing a big, big upswing in the market today.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Oil prices down, dropping almost $ 3 a barrel. All right,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat, you can uncover your ears. Yeah, well, Iran,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: the oil situation will straighten itself out slowly but surely.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: The price of oil spiked up even more when that
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: pipeline was blown up. It takes about two weeks to
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: fix a pipeline, which means it's about a week away
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: from being restored. And they are moving oil. You know,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: the other situation was the Houthis screwing up the port
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: in the Red Sea. even with the Strait of Hormuz out,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: even with the Red Sea port out, you can still
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: move the oil. It has to go a little further.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: They have to move it out through the Suez Canal.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: And you can't use the large tankers in the Suez Canal.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: You've got to use the smaller ships. But they'll still
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: get the oil out, and the pipeline will be back
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: in action probably next week. And then they'll have swarms
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: of drones protecting the pipeline. Also, the other reason oil
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: is coming down, big problem with diesel fuel, And that
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was the situation, not so much created by Iran, but
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: by Ukraine. And Ukraine has gotten really aggressive with Russia,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: bombing everything in Russia, bombing oil facilities. And they hit
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: some diesel facilities, knocking out a lot of diesel fuel.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: And that drove the price up all over the world.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So apparently President Trump's been on the phone with Zelensky
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and Putin. And they've all made an agreement not to
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: hit any diesel facilities anywhere. Not to knock out any
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: diesel fuel. Everybody's agreed to that. So you're seeing oil
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: come down. You're seeing the stock market futures showing a
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: surge will happen when the market opens. So that's good news.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Fed rate hike yesterday. The market pretty happy with that.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: The president always going after that Fed board. It's the
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: leftover Jerome Powell board of Fed governors. And they're all terrible.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: One by one, they'll get them all out. But the
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: president praising Kevin Warsh. Not mad at him for this.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Crazy Mom Donnie. Hey, just a reminder. Next week is
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: UN General Assembly Week. It's actually on now. But next
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: week is where all the world leaders come in. It
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: will be an absolute gridlock traffic nightmare in Manhattan next week.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You're not going to want to come into the city,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: at least not drive in next week. It's going to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: be a mess. Netanyahu will be here. You remember Mamdani
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: campaign promise. I would arrest Netanyahu even early in his
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: term saying he will arrest Netanyahu when he comes here.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Now he has absolutely no authority, none to go after Netanyahu.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: He can't do it. Netanyahu is not a criminal. I
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: know there's a crazy little, what is that court? The
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: war court, international criminal court in the Hague. It's not
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: even a real court. It's just, some idiotic court a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: bunch of people created. Nobody recognizes it except two crazy
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: dictators around the world. But it's not recognized by the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: United States. That court has no authority, not a legitimate court.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Whatever charge they have against him is absolutely useless. And
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: then President Trump has assured Netanyahu he will not be arrested.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Federal agents and troops will protect him the entire time
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: he's here. Mamdani pretty much admitting He can't arrest Netanyahu.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: We are talking about someone who has been charged with
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: crimes against humanity.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Well, wait a minute. No, he hasn't. That crazy fake
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: made-up court doesn't count.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Has visited the city on many an occasion and who
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: has been welcomed by previous mayors. And I want to
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: make it very clear that that welcome ends with me.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I will not be welcoming Benjamin Netanyahu or any other
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: war criminals when they come to this city. And I
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: do believe that our federal government should join the International
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Criminal Court and ensure that there is accountability when it
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: comes to crimes against humanity.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not a real court. It's a bunch
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of left-wing kooks. Nobody's going to join it. Netanyahu is
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: not a war criminal. There are actual war criminals, those
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that were behind the October 7th Holocaust, the raping and
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: slaughtering of babies and innocent people. If any of them
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: come here, of course, Mamdani will have them for dinner
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: at Gracie Mansion. So the reason he hates Netanyahu so much, A,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: he's Jewish, and B, he's the head of America's greatest ally.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So that's two things. Mamdani can't stand. Now, these left-wing
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: kooks are all up in arms because, you know, the
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Smithsonian Institute and a number of museums have just gone
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: so far to the left that they're just turning their
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: museums into ridiculous showcases of nonsense and And they're eliminating
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: all the American history out of them. The Smithsonian Institute,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that's the whole purpose, American history. They're eliminating most of it.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: And if you walk up to the Smithsonian from the street,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: what is in front of it? This enormous sculpture. Nobody
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: knows what the hell it is. It's a ridiculous looking sculpture,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: modern art. It's by Rivera. It's supposed to be an
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: incredible cutting edge work of modern art. Well, great. Send
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: it to the Museum of Modern Art right over there.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: down the block. Put it over there. It does not
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: belong in the Smithsonian. It's totally inappropriate. Mostly the Smithsonian
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: are kids and other people coming to learn about American history.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: You don't need to visit starting with them stopping and going,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: what the hell is that thing? It looks like some weird,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it's like a weather vane of curly, swirly stuff on top.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: So President Trump wants that thing gone. Get that out
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: of there. Send it to a real, you know, modern
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: art museum. Let them display it. And he wants, this
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: is what's upsetting the kooks on the left. They're very
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: upset about this. He wants a statue of George Washington,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: big statue of George Washington, right in front of the Smithsonian.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: They are up in arms. Everybody will be attacking him.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: The New York Times already going after him. the president's
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: latest attack on the museum. It's not an attack. He
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: wants you to put up a statue of George Washington.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I would think if I was starting a museum of
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: American history, I would think the first thing I would
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: put up is a statue of George Washington. What would
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: be the more obvious thing to put up? He also
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: suggests they have an exhibition about Washington's legacy. You know
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: where the museum is? It's in a city called Washington.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Because of George Washington. That's why it's Washington, D.C. So
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: put up a statue of the guy. The proposed statue
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: would replace that modern abstract piece of junk called Infinity
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: by Jose de Rivera. The Smithsonian describes the work as
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the first piece of modern art commissioned by the federal government. Well,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong with modern art, but we don't want the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: federal government picking it, purchasing it, because they don't know
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: what the hell they're doing when it comes to art.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: as President Trump points out, that strange modern sculpture tells
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: visitors nothing about America, inspires no one, honors none of
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: our great American heroes. George Washington does. So he's right, actually.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: It makes more sense. Smithsonian, put up a statue of
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: George Washington. You know, he just got rid of the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: head of the Smithsonian, this left-wing kook of a guy who, uh,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: This guy is the one that wanted to put up
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a George Floyd statue instead in front of the museum.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with the purpose of the Smithsonian. So, hey, Mamdani,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: besides the UN, has a big new project. This one
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: he may actually get done. Every time he proposes something,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: free buses, free daycare, whatever he comes up with, supermarkets,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: never happens. never, ever actually happens. He never gets anything done.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: This one he will get done. This is a major,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: major effort for him. He thinks this is very important.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: He's putting toilets all over New York, public toilets. He said,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: we don't have enough public toilets. Do we have any
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: public toilets? Where's there a public toilet? I think there's
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: one or two subway stations that actually still have a
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: public restroom in them you'd have to be pretty brave
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: to go into a subway restroom but apparently there's still
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: a few so he wants to put these all over
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: the place each toilet i shouldn't say it's not just
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a toilet it's like a fancy outhouse a fancy one
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: each one is 235 000 he's already bought 17 of
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: them they're very high tech this is part of a
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: four million dollar plan He eventually wants to add a
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: of these, 235,000 for each one, made by a company
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: called Throne Labs. It's a modular toilet company that submitted
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the winning proposal. The toilets are ADA accessible, some complete
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: with running water, climate control, and baby changing tables. They'll
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: be open for use 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. So
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: if you've got to go to the bathroom at 6.45,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: forget it. You're out of luck. You're not doing it.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: 10.15 at night? I'm sorry. Can't do it. Now, to
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: open them, you need an app on your phone, or
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: you can have a card. There's a QR code. You'll
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: need an app on your phone. Who's going to carry
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: that card around? This is my toilet card here. But
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you'll have to have this app on your phone. Of course,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: it's the city of New York, which means they'll drain
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: every piece of info and data out of your phone
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: at the same time. As will the Throne Bathroom Network.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: That's embarrassing to have that on your phone. The Throne
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Bathroom Network app. The app will give New Yorkers real-time
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: cleanliness ratings. So it's like kind of a Yelp-y kind
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: of thing. You're going to have a rating on each restroom.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Those without a smartphone can get the card. Now, here's
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the thing. There's a 10-minute time limit. You have a
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: 10-minute time limit to use this toilet. And you get warnings.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: You get a five-minute warning. Listen to this.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Your use time has expired.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: The door is opening now.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're there past the 10 minutes and your
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: time expires, the door will open. So if you're sitting
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: there on the toilet, And it's 10 minutes and 2 seconds.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Your use time has expired.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: The door is opening now.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: That's the city. Now, I guess they have to have
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: it automatically open because what if a bunch of homeless
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: people go in there and lock it? What if somebody
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: has a medical emergency in there and you need to
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: get in? But Mamdani is so powerful. proud of himself on.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: This today we are putting the sewage back in sewer
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: socialism and we're doing so because we believe that there
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: is no problem too big and no task too small
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: for city hall to help you with.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: Well it's a big help i think most people most
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: people know how to find a bathroom somewhere you know
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: you can sneak into a restaurant a hotel uh and
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: use the bath but uh It's the one thing he
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: will actually do. You'll actually see them. I don't know
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: where you're going to see them. Actually, I think there's
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: a Times Square one. There's a Union Square one. They're
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: kind of ugly. I mean, they're very modern looking, but
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: kind of eyesores. And you'll start to see them around
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: the city. Donald Trump's childhood home sells for $ 2 million.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: $ 500, 000 renovation. It was actually going for $ 2. 3 million. A
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: little price cut. It's actually... his there were two childhood
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: homes this one he only lived in until he was
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: four years old this is the smaller house it was
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: actually built by fred trump his father back in the
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: 1940s fred trump built it for himself so you know
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: it's well built and uh it's a little house it's
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a little uh remember where tessio lived and or clemenza
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: lived and the godfather looks exactly like that house uh
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: it's uh It's got four bedrooms, made of brick and stucco. Now, again,
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: the president only lived there until he was four. And
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: then they moved to a bigger house, much bigger house
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: in Jamaica Estates. So if Trump was four when they moved,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: I have a feeling he has very little memory of
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: that house. But from four years old to he grew up,
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: he lived in the bigger house in Jamaica Estates. That
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: one I'm sure he remembers well. So somebody is living
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: in this Donald Trump childhood home and paid $ 2 million
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: for it. For all the homes in that neighborhood, it's
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: one of the nicer looking ones. Very, very, very nice
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: looking one. So Republicans, without the message, they need some
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: kind of message. I mean, they have a message. They
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: just haven't focused it to anything that people are hearing.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: They should have done this before the big Republican midterm convention.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: A lot of people now suggesting it should be about
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: gas prices. They're high right now. They're spiking because of
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: the Iran situation. But the message should be, for Trump,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: this is a spike. For Democrats, this is their baseline.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: This is where they start. So that should be something
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: to do with the message. You know, if you don't
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: like the price of gas now, the last thing you
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: want is Democrats. It'll get worse under them because they'll
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: shut down refineries. They'll shut down factories. oil wells, they'll
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: shut down drilling, as they did before, as they do
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: every time they get in office. And then you'll see
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: a real spike. You know, one reason prices go up
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: like this is we don't have enough refinery space. The
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: same thing with the diesel fuel. We have, President Trump
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: has opened up drilling everywhere, but we don't have enough
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: refineries to, we can produce all the oil we want.
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: We're producing so much oil, we could never use it all,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: but we don't have enough refineries to turn it into
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: gasoline so that's part of the problem we'll get to
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: uh this crazy mclemore this anti-semitic horrible guy uh this
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: is the kind of stuff he yells on.
• 15:34
  Speaker 5: Stage to all of my jewish brothers and sisters criticism
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: of israel criticism of apartheid being against genocide in no
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: way is a criticism of you.
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: Absolutely it's totally anti-semitic he just did it he just
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: called it uh Genocide. There was no genocide by Israel.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: You could argue that Hamas committed genocide. I mean, they
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: committed a Holocaust. They were slaughtering, raping, and killing women
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and babies. And it was just horrible. Just horrible. This guy, Macklemore,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: he's got a history of this. He's an awful, awful guy.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: Listen to this from a while back. Yeah, America. Yeah,
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: blank America. Yeah, America. And listen to his fans. The
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: nicest guy is Ed Sheeran. One of the nicest guys
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: in music. Ed Sheeran. He gets himself tangled. What the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: hell was he doing using Macklemore for an opening act?
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: Probably a promoter that convinced him to do it. But
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: it's got him in all kinds of trouble. He doesn't
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: know what the hell to do. And now he's getting boycotted.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: He's got AOC after him.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Hey, if Ed Sheeran comes on the radio while you're
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: driving along, are you changing the channels?
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: I am. Yeah.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: He's got that Rashid Tlaib after him.
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: The more, you know, folks like Ed Sheeran and everybody
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: side with the billionaire class, with those that, again, benefit
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: financially and benefit personally from the status quo, you know,
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: shame on them. I think it turns around and comes
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: right back on them.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: This anti-Semitism, it's going to come right back at you Democrats.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Keep it up. You're getting away with it now, but
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: it won't, it'll, it'll end up destroying you. All of
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: this anti-Semitism. Well, we got a lot to get to
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: this morning and, uh, We'll get to a lot more
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: coming up. We'll get to more crazy Mamdani schemes. We'll
• 17:32
